The male geeks I know don't object to me knowing about SF, they're just surprised, then they get interested in the conversation about the proper alignment of Batman and whether Kirk could kick Picard's ass, and why New!Trek is fanfic.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
proper alignment of Batman
Chaotic good.
whether Kirk could kick Picard's ass
If they fight in a hallway, yes. Kirk has a mean wall-kick.

It looks like one giant retcon. Everything! It was all part of the Plan! Seriously!
Really? I think it looks like the opposite of that. Given that at the start Stockwell is saying "The plan is that we wiped them out a week ago. But noooooooooo."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kirk is sneakier than Picard. He fights dirty 'cause it's fun.

I guess I meant that they're trying to make us buy that there was a Plan in the first place. The trailer makes it look like basically a recap of the series with added scenes of Cavill bitching about the Plan.

proper alignment of Batman
Chaotic good.
Doesn't that depend on your definition of lawful vs. chaotic? Because Batman can be pretty damn rigid about some things.
Waits for the inevitable "rigid" jokes...

I hope it's also got the Cylons constantly fretting that the humans have a secret master plan.
Silly Cylons. Only the women have a secret master plan. Don't you read men's SF blogs?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Only the women have a secret master plan.

Step 2: ...
Step 3: Profit!

then pointing and laughing will suffice. So, yes: let’s all point and laugh at these funny little terrified stupid men, and then ignore them.
